I'm not anywhere near you so I don't know what the roads are like, but this is one of the things you should be able to search for online. If you have a filter and it's blocked so you can't search, I am happy to help you out, just tell me what you need to know specifically. You seem stressed so I'm happy to help.

I assume the main highways should be fine. Yes there is a lot of local flooding.

hope this helps. It looks like they are telling people to stay off certain roads.

Do you HAVE to go upstate or can you stay where you are?

Google maps shows live traffic and which roads are closed.

You're in our thoughts! Put your hands over your heart like a hug and tap your fingers against your chest. It's called butterfly hugs and it's very calming.
